Star Wars 3.75" Black Series - REY (JAKKU)!

In all the hub-bub leading up to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I was never able to find a 3.75" Rey in the stores. I heard woeful stories from many a Dad trying desperately to find a Rey figure before Christmas. It's a shame there wasn't more product on the shelves leading up to the holidays. I personally didn't find this figure until January 8th, so I feel your pain. There are actually two 3.75" Rey figures (so far) in her Jakku outfit. The other version (the "Starkiller Base" version) is slightly shorter and much less articulated, but at a quick glance they are very similar figures. From the comparisons I've seen online though, I think I made the right choice in grabbing this one. It should be interesting to see what new costumes Rey gets in the upcoming films. Like Leia, I think she's destined to have a variety of unique looks throughout the course of the series. So because of that hunch, I'm going to slow down my Rey purchases. The three I have will have to tide me over. Let's check out the 3.75" Black Series Rey below!

Rey comes with a backpack, her staff, and a replacement head with a shoulder wrap.

The extra head is really cool. To be clear, you have to pop off her unmasked head and snap this wrapped up piece in its place.

As articulated as this Rey is, it's actually pretty hard to get her in any dynamic poses. The range of motion in her legs is pretty limited.

I really like this figure, but it kills me that she has gloved hands. I know its the jakku look but I really want bare hands to do some screen accurate poses from the end of the movie. Otherwise I love this figure.

Absolutely in love with this figure, definitely think she's the best Rey Hasbro has released so far (I just can't stand the 6" line)! Love the photography, the black background really sets off the figure.

This is absolutely the best 3.75" Rey (so far). I'm excited to see what her costumes look like in the next movies. I actually love the 6" line (except for the bulky ugly clothing like on the new Leia).
